What happens when a physical therapist trades the clinic for healthcare marketing, and discovers her creative genius was working behind the scenes all along? In this episode, Heather sits down with Rachel Taylor, Market Manager at Agape Care Group/Georgia Hospice Care, whose Hodges 12 Creative Genius Trifecta is Connector—Healer—Communicator, maps perfectly onto her life's work.

Rachel never would have called herself creative. But through this conversation, she unpacks how creativity shows up in the most unexpected places: transforming a patient's room into a mini beach, coordinating a final wedding, and meeting grieving families exactly where their fear lives.

She shares why creativity isn't "extra," it's how you multiply impact, and how great leaders create the psychological safety their teams need to take risks, fail forward, and grow. If you've ever wondered what creativity looks like in a high-stakes, deeply human industry, this episode is for you.

In this special live episode from the Georgia Hospice and Palliative Care Organization annual conference, host Heather Hodges sits down with Natalie McNeil, Director of Hospice and In-Home Palliative Care, and Dr. Mary Keith, Medical Director at the Hospice of Northeast Georgia Health System, to explore what creativity really looks like in hospice care. Through the lens of the Hodges 12 Creative Genius assessment, Natalie (Cultivator–Strategist–Designer) and Dr. Keith (Communicator–Synthesizer–Organizer) share how they’ve learned to see themselves as creative leaders, far beyond traditional ideas of art and talent.

Together they unpack how regulations can serve as a starting line instead of a ceiling, why “no” is the fastest way to kill innovation, and how collaborative, non-hierarchical teams generate the best ideas for patients and families.

Along the way, they reframe hospice from something associated with giving up to a space for abundant, intentional life all the way to the end, where creativity shows up in every home, every family, and every conversation.

Jen Elliott is back! As the Executive Director of Heart of Georgia Hospice, Jen brings a rare combination to everything she leads: the precision of an Organizer, the big-picture thinking of a Strategist, and the people-centered heart of a Cultivator. That Trifecta is an absolute force of nature.

In this episode, we dig into what it really means to lead creatively in hospice care, and why the people who say "I'm not creative" are often the most creative people in the room.

Jen opens up about the moments she's held her creativity back, the ideas that almost didn't make it, and how she nurtures creative courage in the people she leads.

If you've ever wondered what human-centered innovation looks like from the inside of a hospice organization, this conversation will remind you why human creativity is still the most powerful tool we have.
